This seminar will focus on the visual inspection of building façades and provide a guide as to the impact of the various listed conditions on the building’s façade stability. In this presentation, the visual symptoms will refer to common types of façade characteristics found in high and mid-rise buildings, and describe most of the typical façade problems encountered. The audience will learn how, following a visual inspection, the evaluation of a façade's condition should not only consider the visual distress symptoms. However, these symptoms should be combined with indictors from the building's structural, thermal insulation, HVAC systems, and fire protection systems as well. Join to learn how.
